The Hispanic Women’s Network of Texas (HWNT) is a state-wide organization of individuals from diverse backgrounds who are committed to promoting the participation of Hispanic women in public, corporate and civic arenas. HWNT seeks to advance the educational, cultural, social, legal and economic well-being of all women through a broader awareness of their role in society, business and family. Members strive to celebrate the positive image and values of the Hispanic culture.

HWNT was formed in 1987 by inviting members of existing women’s and Hispanic groups from around the state to create an organization that would address issues unique to Latinas.
